Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?

1 answer:

7 0

Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.

A bodybuilder loads a bar with 550 Newtons (~125 pounds) of weight and pushes the bar over her head 10 times. Each time she lift

mafiozo [28]

Work = (force) x (distance)

Each time she lifts the weight, she does

(550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against gravity.

Each time she lets the bar down gently, gravity does

(550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against her muscles.

If the human physical muscular system were 100% efficient, and capable
of absorbing work as well as spending it, then the bodybuilder would do
exactly zero work in the process of 1-up followed by 1-down.

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is $B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

The direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the electric field is $E = 9.6 \ V/m$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{E}{c}$

where c is the speed of light with value

$B = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}$

$B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is northward(y-plane ) and the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page (z-plane )

A 120 kg tackler moving at 3.0 m/s meets head-on (and tackles) a 91 kg halfback moving at 7.5 m/s. What will be their mutual vel

Vesna [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the tackler, m₁ = 120 kg

Velocity of tackler, u₁ = 3 m/s

Mass, m₂ = 91 kg

Velocity, u₂ = -7.5 m/s

We need to find the mutual velocity immediately the collision. It is the case of inelastic collision such that,

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$v=\dfrac{120\ kg\times 3\ m/s+91\ kg\times (-7.5\ m/s)}{120\ kg+91\ kg}$

v = -1.5 m/s

Hence, their mutual velocity after the collision is 1.5 m/s and it is moving in the same direction as the halfback was moving initially. Hence, this is the required solution.
